Sagiryu

Japanese: 鷺流 - さぎりゅう

〘Name〙 One of the Kyogen schools. There are various theories about the name Sagi, but according to "Warambegusa" written by Okura Toraakira in the early Edo period, it is said to be based on the nickname given to the father of Sagi Niuemon Sogen, who served Tokugawa Ieyasu and built the foundations of the Sagi school, because he was born with a long neck and lived near water. Sogen became a member of the Kanze troupe at the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1614 ( Keicho 19 ), and established the school. The quality of the performance was flashy and aimed to appeal to the masses, and it flourished in the Edo period, but after the Meiji Restoration, when Noh was in decline, the 19th head of the school, Gonnojo, left Kyoto, and his disciples joined Azuma Noh Kyogen and were isolated from the Noh world, or moved to other schools, and the school was abolished in the Taisho period. ※Angura Nabe (1871-72)〈Kanagaki Robun〉 2 “The kyogen is of the Sagiri school, and the fact that he is the direct brother of Hekosai Niemon is well-known around here.”

〘名〙狂言流派の一つ。鷺の名称については諸説あるが、江戸初期の大蔵虎明著「わらんべ草」によれば、徳川家康に仕えて鷺流の基礎を築いた鷺仁右衛門宗玄の父親にあたる者が、生まれつき首が長く、水辺に住んだところからつけられた異名にもとづくものという。宗玄は慶長一九年（一六一四）に徳川家康の命で観世座付となり、流儀として確立した。芸質は派手で俗受けを狙う面があり、江戸時代には隆盛を誇ったが、明治維新後の能楽衰退期に一九世家元権之丞は離京し、弟子たちは吾妻能狂言に参加して能楽界から絶縁されたり、他流に移ったりして、流儀としては大正時代に廃絶した。※安愚楽鍋（1871‐72）〈仮名垣魯文〉二「狂言は鷺流(サギリウ)で凹斎(へこさい)仁右衛門の直弟なる事是はこのあたりにかくれもないし」
